I have many guilty pleasures in life(& who doesn't tbh) but one of them that I have been absolutely loving lately is -wait for it- HGTV shows.

Thrilling, I know right??

(If you don't know, HGTV is a home improvement channel where all the shows involve interior designing, buying and selling houses, and everything involved with that.)

I don't even know why but I can spend hours upon hours watching TV

You have no idea how much of my life I have spent mindlessly watching home improvement shows.

I think my favorites that I have been completely obsessed with recently are:

1. Property Brothers

A set of twin brothers host this show about showing someone that renovating a fixer-upper within your budget is more economical than buying a move-in ready house.

(Funnily enough, I am actually watching this show right now! haha.)

2. House Hunters/ House Hunters International

A classic favorite of mine. This show shows home buyers three homes within or outside of their budget/wish this and then they have to pick which one they like. I especially like the 'international' version because it is often in cool exotic locations where I could only dream of living.

3. Love It or List It

A relatively new obsession - a realtor and a designer fight over home owners allegiance. The realtor shows new homes they could move into and the designer renovates their current home to make them stay- will they Love it or will they List it??? ;]

So yeah...I have been watching too much TV lately oh boy...

But you know, sometimes you need those days where you don't want to think about responsibilities of life.

I had heard so much talk about this magical seed and decided to try it, mainly for it's nutritional benefits. Now I heard that these seeds make you seem full, and as a result eat less; I actually found this to be true, as I put a spoonful into my yogurt and granola and I find that later in the day I'm not as hungry. Pretty neat, right? As they don't really have a flavor, you can put them in pretty much anything from muffins and yogurt to smoothies and salads.

FUN FACT: These chia seeds are more widely known as being the seeds for Chia Pets!

2. Angie's Boom Chicka Pop Salted Caramel Popcorn

YUM. YUM. YUM. At only 80 calories/cup of popcorn, this stuff will make you so happy. Tastes amazing without the added guilt of eating too many calories. I would also highly recommend that you check out the other varieties of Angie's Boom Chicka Pop because they are equally delicious.

3. Parks and Recreation TV show

I had heard about this before from family and friends, and had seen a lot of pictures/gifs of it on the internet, so when I saw it on Netflix I just had to. It has that quirky sense of humor similar to shows like The Office but I find it very charming and the characters are very loveable.

Just a snapshop of what I've been loving this August!

But what about you? Let me know and maybe I will become obsessed with it in September...Who knows...
